Designing Parametric Multiple-Choice Tests with Moodle and LaTeX for Engineering Education

E-learning has become a cornerstone of modern education, offering flexibility, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. Among the available tools, Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle) stands out as a robust Learning Management System (LMS) for managing online content, particularly through Multiple-Choice Questionnaires (MCQs), which provide scalable and objective assessments. However, managing large question banks or engineering-specific content in Moodle can be challenging.This paper demo how combining Moodle with LaTeX—using the moodle package— addresses these challenges. This approach enables efficient creation, management, and deployment of questions by leveraging LaTeX’s formatting capabilities alongside Python or Lua scripting. Successfully implemented in Electrical Engineering courses, it benefits both students and educators by streamlining evaluation and improving learning flexibility.
